About me: Complicated; Like a book if you don't go beyond the cover you won't know me. After all, life is too important to be taken seriously. I do believe that anytime before you pass through the gates of hell, you can change your luck.

At times, I can be too intense, anally retentive and self-important, but my friends and family are very good at putting me in my place. I have grown accustomed to living with the absurd.

Point to note: I have been accused of being a toxic personality. Take me or leave me. That's the way I am.

Religion: JEDI.. : “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”

Political view: Neo- Anarchist/ TechnoProgressive

A few quotes we should live by:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointedby the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.Catch the trade winds in your sails.Explore. Dream. Discover."Mark Twain

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialisation is for insects. — Robert A. Heinlein

I was on Everyman 3 (3 hours core nap) and unsure when I will experiment with Uberman/Davinci sleep again.Starting to sleep longer now and may be due to the shorter daylight hours.

Will see what happens.

I prefer to refer to the 24hour clock as it does makes things easier.

Decided to take a leaf from others and describe each 24 hour period as a day and a Cycle.24 hours = 1 Cycle.

Probably someone watching Battlestar Galactica...lol

November 2009:Due to the weather changes I am finding it hard to only sleep three hours or it may be due to changes in my training.I will now be on one muscle part a day and starting a running schedule.Currently on 4 hour Core sleeps and 1 or 2 Naps a day.

Disadvantage: One extra hour of sleep.Advantage: Only need one extra nap.

Will see if this is permanent or Seasonal. If I find myself sleeping longer, I will experiment with Uberman again. It may shock the system.

May 2013:Lots has happened:October15th, ended up with Occupy the London Stock Exchange.Did not do wonders for my training as I ended up becoming part of the sanitaion team and did latrine duty in the morning.February 29th 2012: Eviction.Livestream team with Occupy News Network.Occupy Nomads afterwards.

For anyone that missed it last time. This is a letter template to send to the UN to hopefully save Sakineh. Takes a few seconds to copy and paste the template into an email and use the addresses provided.

Last week, Ms. Ashtiani was forced to make a TV ''confession'', against herself, Mr. Mostafaei, and the campaign. Her lawyer says Ashtiani was tortured before the interview recorded in Tabriz prison. The interview was broadcast on Wednesday 11th August, on the '20:30' program by Seda va Sima, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting. Televised “confessions” have repeatedly been used by the authorities to incriminate individuals in custody. Many have later retracted these “confessions”, stating that they were coerced to make them, sometimes under torture or other ill-treatment.

For this, I ask the United Nations, all Human Rights and International Organizations to take urgent action.

Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

The lifestance of Humanism—guided by reason, inspired by compassion, and informed by experience—encourages us to live life well and fully. It evolved through the ages and continues to develop through the efforts of thoughtful people who recognize that values and ideals, however carefully wrought, are subject to change as our knowledge and understandings advance.

This document is part of an ongoing effort to manifest in clear and positive terms the conceptual boundaries of Humanism, not what we must believe but a consensus of what we do believe. It is in this sense that we affirm the following:

Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation, and rational analysis. Humanists find that science is the best method for determining this knowledge as well as for solving problems and developing beneficial technologies. We also recognize the value of new departures in thought, the arts, and inner experience—each subject to analysis by critical intelligence.

Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change. Humanists recognize nature as self-existing. We accept our life as all and enough, distinguishing things as they are from things as we might wish or imagine them to be. We welcome the challenges of the future, and are drawn to and undaunted by the yet to be known.

Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience. Humanists ground values in human welfare shaped by human circumstances, interests, and concerns and extended to the global ecosystem and beyond. We are committed to treating each person as having inherent worth and dignity, and to making informed choices in a context of freedom consonant with responsibility.

Life's fulfillment emerges from individual participation in the service of humane ideals. We aim for our fullest possible development and animate our lives with a deep sense of purpose, finding wonder and awe in the joys and beauties of human existence, its challenges and tragedies, and even in the inevitability and finality of death. Humanists rely on the rich heritage of human culture and the lifestance of Humanism to provide comfort in times of want and encouragement in times of plenty.

Humans are social by nature and find meaning in relationships. Humanists long for and strive toward a world of mutual care and concern, free of cruelty and its consequences, where differences are resolved cooperatively without resorting to violence. The joining of individuality with interdependence enriches our lives, encourages us to enrich the lives of others, and inspires hope of attaining peace, justice, and opportunity for all.

Working to benefit society maximizes individual happiness. Progressive cultures have worked to free humanity from the brutalities of mere survival and to reduce suffering, improve society, and develop global community. We seek to minimize the inequities of circumstance and ability, and we support a just distribution of nature's resources and the fruits of human effort so that as many as possible can enjoy a good life.

Humanists are concerned for the well being of all, are committed to diversity, and respect those of differing yet humane views. We work to uphold the equal enjoyment of human rights and civil liberties in an open, secular society and maintain it is a civic duty to participate in the democratic process and a planetary duty to protect nature's integrity, diversity, and beauty in a secure, sustainable manner.

Thus engaged in the flow of life, we aspire to this vision with the informed conviction that humanity has the ability to progress toward its highest ideals. The responsibility for our lives and the kind of world in which we live is ours and ours alone.
